"Rising
Paradigm"

MAC Arizona room,  2004 show one such
new and innovative artist is our own
David Andersen with his masonry art,
“Saguaro Shadows” built from Sedona
flagstone and clay pottery. (seen below).   
“This piece stems from a desire to connect
with others” David said. “This piece not
only integrates the feeling of a traditional
mosaic, but by closer view the mosaic also
has the influence of a Stone mason.” David
went on to explain that each piece is placed
not to make a boundary but more to
interact with each other. The larger stone
backdrop, cascading, gives this piece
warmth and a connection to the earth.   
“Many of my pieces have a rising
cascading affect and normally integrate
three sections which I relate to the trinity,
God, Son and Holy Ghost or Heart, Mind
and Soul.  I find solace in recognizing a
greater power.”
